Following a tip-off on Friday 8 June 2018, the Johannesburg Metro Police Department’s (JMPD) K9-Unit uncovered a total of 554 Mandrax tablets and six bags of Mandrax powder at a drug house in Eldorado Park Extension 9.
The JMPD K9 officers received a call about a Volkswagen Polo Vivo - previously hijacked in Tsakane – being traced to the suspected house.
After positively identifying the hijacked vehicle, officers searched the house and uncovered and took possession of the illicit drugs.
Public Safety MMC Michael Sun says: “We have been receiving multiple complaints about the blatant drug dealing in Eldorado Park and our JMPD K9-Unit has been monitoring the situation undercover. We knew it was just a matter of time before this drug bust will be made. We want to thank and urge the community to continue to assist the JMPD with information on any criminal activities so we can bring these criminals down.”
No suspect were arrested, but investigation continues and the police are confident that suspects will be nabbed soon.
The Mandrax, together with the hijacked vehicle, were booked in at the Eldorado SAPS. Anyone with information relating to this case are requested to contact SAPS or JMPD on (011) 375 5911.
